The French destroyer rescued 29 mariners from an attacked oil tanker in the Red Sea, highlighting the escalating violence in the region linked to Yemen's Houthi rebels.
This latest attack on the oil tanker is significant as it is part of a months-long campaign by Houthis affecting vital maritime trade routes, disrupting over $1 trillion in cargo annually.
Military reports indicate that the Sounion was targeted with small arms and projectiles, demonstrating the Houthis' ongoing strategy to disrupt ships amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Despite the recent attacks, many missiles and drones targeting vessels have been intercepted, showcasing the efforts of the U.S.-led coalition in the Red Sea to maintain safety.
